Milwaukee Brewers All-Star outfielder Ryan Braun was suspended without pay for the remainder of the 2013 season for violating the league's drug prevention and treatment policy.

The suspension of Braun was effective immediately and includes any postseason games the team may play in.

Ryan Braun said in a statement. "As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes."

Braun said he was willing to accept the consequences of his actions. "This situation has taken a toll on me and my entire family, and it is has been a distraction to my teammates and the Brewers organization."

More suspensions for performance-enhancing drugs appear imminent.

MLB could also attempt to discipline former Yankees MVPs Alex Rodriguez along with other players.

Union head Michael Weiner said last Tuesday he expected Major League Baseball will complete its investigation within a month and speak with the players' association to determine the mechanics of discipline, which would be subject to grievances and arbitration.

A day after Trevor Noah was declared the new host of "The Daily Show," complete with the blessing of the exiting Jon Stewart, graphic tweets targeting women, Jews and victims of the Ebola virus are causing a social media backlash.
